Lanham, MD - The National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) announced today that P. Flanigan & Sons Inc. of Baltimore, Md., has won the 2007 Sheldon G. Hayes Award for excellence in construction of an asphalt pavement. The company received the award on January 29, 2008, at the association’s 53rd Annual Meeting in Phoenix, Ariz. P. Flanigan & Sons won the award for its work on 16.8 miles of I-97 from MD 450 to I-695. Working at night because of the heavy traffic on this route to the beach, the company milled and overlaid several sections of the road and the lengthy ramps servicing them.
“Maintenance of traffic was really the biggest obstacle that we had on this project,” says Project Manager Glenn Snyder. State police assisted with traffic control, and P. Flanigan & Sons pioneered the use in some sections of a moving barrier system that kept work crews separated from traffic. The job was further complicated by the road’s location in a watershed area, which meant the company was required to remove all equipment from the job site each night.
